Pin This RecipeEasy 7-up Biscuits from Scratch
What? Yep, that’s right, 7up biscuits. Some places on the internet call these Popeye’s Biscuits – I guess they taste like the biscuits from the chicken place. All I know is that these were the best biscuits that I’ve ever made – hands down! They were light and fluffy. They only have four ingredients – so quick and easy! We had them with dinner but I will make them again for breakfast. Chicken Legs wants a biscuit with bacon and cheese – YUM!
What is Bisquick?
Bisquick is a pre-made baking mix sold by Betty Crocker. It is made with flour, shortening, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
If you don’t have access to a box of Bisquick baking mix, you can make a quick homemade Bisquick mix.
In a food processor pulse 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 1⁄2 tablespoons Crisco shortening. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter to cut the shortening into the flour mixture.
How to Make 7up Biscuits
These tender biscuits are super easy to make with only four simple ingredients. Start with putting some melted butter in a baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, mix together Bisquick, sour cream, and 7up lemon-lime soda just until a soft dough forms. The dough will be somewhat soft and sticky.
Sprinkle some extra Bisquick on the counter and place the biscuit dough on top of it. Gently knead and fold the dough until coated with your baking mix. Pat the dough into a 9-inch square and cut out the biscuits with a 3-inch round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on top of the melted butter in the baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- If you don’t have 7up in the fridge, you can substitute Sprite or Ginger Ale.
- The dough will be very soft. Try to avoid overmixing or adding too much extra Bisquick to the dough. The soft dough is what gives these biscuits their light and fluffy texture.
- Can I Freeze Biscuits? Yes! To freeze the baked biscuits, cool them to room temperature and place them in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer bag. Store the biscuits in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To freeze unbaked biscuits, Freeze them in a single layer so you can easily remove a few at a time. Frozen biscuit dough can be baked straight out of the refrigerator at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature.
What to Serve with Homemade Biscuits
These biscuits are on repeat at our house. We absolutely LOVE them. This recipe makes 9 biscuits. Perfect for a dinner side and breakfast. I love to stuff the leftover biscuits with egg, cheese, and bacon – YUM. The biscuits are equally delicious slathered with sausage gravy, honey butter, or your favorite jam. Give these a try the next time you need an easy bread recipe. You won’t be disappointed!

could you use seltzer water in place of the 7-up?
Wow, These were great. My biscuits usually turn out like rocks. My family LOVED these.

I need some help mine did not rise atnall what am I doing wrong?
I found your blog through pintrest and am in love! I tried these tonight using FF sour cream and i can't believe it's not butter spray (trying to maintain my girlish figure) and don't think I used enough bisquick since the FF sour cream isn't as thick. I had to scoop them with an ice cream scoop but they baked great and tasted amazing! The hubby can't wait for breakfast. Thanks!
Ashley – I don't see why they wouldn't freeze. I will have to experiment with that.
Oh my goodness, I tried these tonight and they were WONDERFUL! 🙂 Do you think these could be made and frozen (unbaked)?
Can you use plain yogurt instead of sour cream?
I would say NO. Plain Greek yogurt is a substitute for sour cream. I have not tried it in this recipe, so I don’t know if it would work.
Emma – you can make your own –
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
LOVE the looks of these! Is there a UK alternative to bisquick that I could use do you know? 🙂
@dmwhitaker – try adding more bisquick until it is barely sticky – it is a soft dough, just don't add too much or they will be dry.
@Anisha – I used a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits out before I put them in the pan. Make sure to add bisquick to the board when you pat the dough out so they don't stick.
Do you for them into biscuits before putting them in the pan, and how???
I tried these last night and the dough was so sticky I couldn't get it off my fingers! They didn't turn out right….what am I doing wrong?
wandy269 – I always use room temperature, but I'm not sure it makes a difference.
Since baking is an exact science, does the 7up need to be cold or room temperature?

Jenny – thanks so much for reporting back about the Diet 7UP! I've always wondered how it would turn out. Looks like I keep buying regular 7UP.
